Completed Projects: No. 6

I've been out shopping the garage again. Here's an old yellowish pottery piece I painted with a mixture of gesso and old leftover paint.


The before picture shows just how ugly it was.



I like the chalky gesso/paint mixture and will age it somewhat after I get a collection of items done.


Next time I will show you the matching lid I made for this from an old tin cake cover I bought at a second hand shop for $1.29.

    That's beautiful...I'm just learning about gesso, now I just need to build up my nerves to give it a try. I'm your newest follower, I found you on Debbiedoos blogger. I would love to have a visit from you. http://www.decoratingwcents.blogspot.com/
